You can use "rewrite" directive:

  http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#rewrite

Or regexp "location" with captures and correspond uwsgi_param setting.

  http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location

i.e.:

 location /django/ {

     location ~ ^/django(?P<adm_path>/admin/.+)$ {
         uwsgi_param  PATH_INFO  $adm_path;
         ...
     }

 }
